$50 Islands comprising his charge, and
they were annexed to Great Britain about
ten years ago. At present the population
Of the islands is about 10000 natives and
1900 Europeans. The present. Capital is
at silva, having been removed from Le-
bukq few years ago The principal pro
ducts Of the islands are cocoanuts, tea and
lately the English planters have succeeded
in raising good quality of coffee and
cotton, Owing TO the humanzing teach
ings of his predecessor Sir Austin Cor
don, cannibalism has become one of the
lost arts, and to-day there were but few
OF these man-eating creatures TO be found
on any of the Islands. Some years ago it
was found to be exceedingly difficult to in
duce the lazy and careless Polynesian
natives 20 work on the plantations, and
the Government finally concluded to send
to the Islands the industrious coolies from
India, and at present. there were about
5000 Of these laborers, whose services
were let by the Government agents on
specific contracts.

Boston Special.
This paragraph is going the rounds of the
newspapers:
philadelphia publishers say the revised BIZ
bic has fallen fat Hundreds of thousands of
copies remain on the shelves, and the people
will not have them at any price. The old Bible
is good enough. Stick to it."
1T is true" said gentleman to a reporter.
"that there has been falling off compared
with the demand when the revised Bible first
appeared, but there has not been such falling
off to that statement There is
steady sale. and a slight increase has begun.
There has never been the same demand for the
Bible as for the New Testament in the revised
form"
At the rooms of the Massachusetts Bible So
ciety it was said that sixty copies of the King
James version were still sold for every one of
the revised There was a tendency to criticise
the change which makes a less definite distinc-
ton between chapters. The price of the old
version is also lower, and an octave edition of
the revised Bible selling at 81. so is no better
book than that published by the society at rs
cents.
That statement is strictly true" said Mr..
Upham. a book-deaer The revised version
has fallen fiat. 1t has not been adopted by the
Episcopal clergy of this country or Of England
1t is not wanted. Bishop Williams hit the mat
rightly when he said the revisers were
saturated with Greek that they forgot how to
use their English correctly. The issuing of the
work has been from the start a case of how not to
do il. The work is too expensive, the type is
too small. and it is otherwise undesirable, We
have no demand for It.
1T sells very slow, indeed, with u.s." was the
answer at the Universalist publishing house.
There has been some little call for the revised
New Testiment, but see nothing that indicates
any general use of the book.
Mr.. Magee, OF the Methodist book establish
ment, said: These are my sentiments. The
revised version is good as an article OF mer-
chandse. and would not venture to order
half dozen copies at one time. The people
have confidence in it, and are not willing to
adopt the mere verbal changes"

able the Democrats to Win.


New York Interview.
THE Republican patty has been repeatedly
victorious in Ohio and elsewhere because it is
bold and uneo uivocal In its declarations. 1t is
in the wrong, but by courageously declaring its
wrong principles it has trium phed. It stands on
the doctrine of pate nalsm and believes in reg
ulating everything By law. The Democratic
party, the other hand, asserts the liberty of
Democracy, in the largest liberty of the individ-
ual consistent with social order in tie liberty of
commerce between States. and in the liberty of
commerce between nations; and In freedom gen.
orally, only far restrained the COM
mon peace aud security may require"
"How will the Democratic party winW
IF the Democratic party would clearly avow

All the elements opposed to oppressive and
just taxation, discriminating in favor of the few
against the many, would have united In one
body, which would have been an irresistible
force in our national politics. AS IL Is, the Dem
ocratic party does not escape the charge of being
a free-trade party. 1t gets the blame, but not
the game, If may use s. homely phrase which
exactly fits the situation. The country knows
that the Repub lican party is openly for pro-
lection, and it knows the Democratic party is
opposed to the Republican party. As logical
sequence. it assumes that the Democratic party
is for free trade, but afraid TO say And this
hesitation and am bguity prevents il from gain
